Why I Love Canada

Some number in a series.

But this is hands down my favourite part:

Sex-Positive Holidays
The provincial Victoria Day holiday in May commemorates a monarch legendary for her negative attitudes towards female sexuality. The Sex Party would change Victoria Day to Eros Day to celebrate and encourage sex-positive expression.
There is no provincial holiday in February. The Sex Party would proclaim Valentines Day as an official holiday


Well, that and that their webpage looks like a porn site, I mean, really.

And yes, they're based in BC.

They're right too - Auld Vicky had appalling attitudes towards sex, and women. They have a statue of her on my college campus, and to be honest I hate looking at it, knowing how retrogressive - even for her time - her attitudes were. Eros Day is a fabulous idea!
